Title: Improvements in and connected with Hammers Actuated by Air or Fluid.
Inventor: LANG WALTER SHAW
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1913-03-05
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 5493. Lang, W. S. March 5. Steam and other fluid-pressure hammers.- Fluid is distributed to an air or other fluidpressure hammer by oscillating valves A arranged one near each end of the cylinder, as shown in Fig. 2, and working over ports in the cylinder wall. Each valve is keyed to a hollow spindle B, Fig. 5, and is pressed to its seat by fluid pressure in the valve chamber D and by a spring F, which presses against a ring G<1> fitting into a cup ring G<2> on the valve, to maintain a tight joint between the valve and its spindle. The spring also presses against a collar E<2> on the spindle to maintain a tight joint between the spindle- and the casing. Fluid enters the chamber D at J and passes through one or more ports N' in the cylinder when the ports are uncovered by the valve. The exhaust passes through a passage A<3> in the valve and through the hollow spindle to the atmosphere. The fluid may be used expansively, by the use of a fluid-actuated cut-off gear M<3>, Figs. 6 and 7, communicating with a port M<1> or M<2>, Fig. 2, in the cylinder, or by any suitable cut-off gear. The valves may be operated by levers P, links 0, and arms H. In a modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the valves may be provided with two passages A<3> and work over two ports N' at each end of the cylinder. A single valve for controlling both ends of the cylinder may be used, formed as shown in dotted outline in Fig. 6, and working over two ports in the middle of the cylinder connected by passages y with single ports at the respective ends of the cylinder.

Granted: 1914-06-10
Abstract: 13,384. Davies, A. J. June 10. Toothed gearing for connecting alined driving and driven shafts 1, 9, Fig. 1, comprises a number of parallel countershafts 5, which are adjustable in position so that one or more of them may be removed and the others arranged symmetrically. Gears 4, 7 on each of the shafts 5 mesh with gears 2, 8 on the shafts 1, 9, respectively, and the shafts 5 are supported in brasses 11 carried by fixed frames 6. Each frame 6 has a circular internal surface 12, Fig. 3, against which the brasses 11 are held by bolts 10. Recesses 16 are formed in the surface 12 to assist in placing the shafts 5 accurately. The invention is specially applicable for driving screw propellers from turbines, and the ends of the shafts 1, 9 are then connected through a thrust muff coupling 17, Fig. 1. The coupling 17 is put together in halves and the halves are held together by rings 18. The coupling may be cooled and lubricated by gate valves 20, 21, Fig. 5, in the spaces 19 between the rings 18. The valves 20, 21 work in recesses 23 in the rings 18 and are pivoted at 22, 22<1> alternately at the outer and inner edges of the rings. The coupling 17 turns in baths of lubricating and cooling media, and the opposite inclinations of the valves 20, 21 cause these media to be scooped up and circulated through passages 26.

Abstract: 26,897. Macinante, J. Nov. 22. Propelling; steering, balancing, and regulating altitude.-Tractor-screw apparatus for aeroplanes, which automatically ensures a normally horizontal propulsion irrespective of the inclination of the fuselage, comprises a gyroscopic mounting of the propeller in a frame attached to the fuselage. By locking the gimbal rings, steering may be effected. Bearings 18 in a framework 16, Fig. 1, take an outer gimbal ring 19 having bearings 20 for an inner ring 21, which in turn supports the propeller shaft 22 in bearings 24, 25. The shaft 22 carries two blades 23 and is driven by universal jointing from an engine on the aeroplane or air-ship to the prow of which the framework 16 is attached. In modifications, the engine is mounted directly on the propeller shaft and carries the blades. A quadrant 32, Fig. 6, which may be engaged by a pawl 33 controlled by cords 34, 35, and a spring catch 36, is secured on the outer ring near the bearing, the catch and pawl being on the frame 16. A similar looking device may be fitted to the outer ring. When the rings are locked, the propeller becomes a simple tractor.

Filed: 1914-01-31
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 2595. Lyng, J. J. Jan. 31, 1913, [Convention date]. Party - line systems in which a number of waystations are selectively called by a main station are arranged with two relays at each sub-station, one relay being in circuit with the two sides of the line, and the other relay in an earth circuit, and graduated resistances are placed in the circuits to obtain a selective operation. The main station A is shown connected to way-stations B ... G over leads 5, 6. When the key 30 is operated to call station B, the leads 5, 6 are connected at station A through a battery 36 and all the resistance 38. The current with this connexion is sufficient to operate relay 14 at station B only, the resistances 20 increasing from station B to station G. The contact 51 of the key 30 completes a grounded circuit through the battery 40, resistances 41, and lines 5, 6, to the relay 15 at station B, thus closing the circuit of the call 26. The resistances 21 decrease from station B to station G and are arranged so that when a station, for example D, is being called, the current in the grounded circuit passing over part of the resistance 42 is not strong enough to actuate the relays 15 at stations B, C. The relays 14, 15 may be of polarized type so as to obtain further selection by the use of currents of different polarities.

Discharging-appliances; driving and actuating mechanism.-Relates to a machine for mixing and kneading dough &c., in which a vessel having a lid is tiltable for discharging its contents, and consists in a safety device of the kind employed for preventing the machinery from running unless the vessel is in its normal position and the lid closed. Bolts N, P, Figs. 1 and 2, operatively connected with means for starting and stopping the driving-gear, are moved forward in guides R when the gear is started and withdrawn when it is stopped, the bolts co-operating with quadrants S, T on the lid and the body of the vessel respectively. When the vessel is tilted about the axis B, or the lid J is opened, one or other of the quadrants blocks the corresponding bolt, so that the machinery cannot be started. Conversely, movement of the vessel or of the lid is prevented while the machinery is running, by the bolts engaging holes in the quadrants. As shown, the bolts are carried by arms M, 0 on a rod L, which is connected to a clutch-operating device F by links K, G.
